This is anti-bullying week in the Finglas south area of Dublin. Seven schools - four primary and three secondary - are involved in events which include an inter-schools soccer blitz on Thursday. Co-operative games will be encouraged in each of the seven schools and a resource pack on bullying is being made available to teachers for use in the classroom.

Dr Brendan Byrne will give a public talk on bullying this evening at 7.30 p.m. in Colaiste Eoin (tel: (01) 836 1666).
